The removed brain was then rapidly immobilized in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS, embedded in paraffin, sectioned, and stained with H&E according to standard protocols. The H&E‐stained brain section images were taken by an optical microscope (Olympus), which were further compared with a pH map to determine whether the glioma infiltrating boundary defined by CP2‐M matches the actual boundary indicated by the pathological result. The removed brain was made into frozen sections, and the CP2‐M signal and bright‐field images were taken by confocal microscopy to verify probe entry into the brain. The altered frozen sections were subjected to immunofluorescence staining to verify the co‐localization of CP2‐M with CD206 in vivo, antibody information: CD206 (proteintech, 60143‐1, 1:50).

For immunofluorescence, after fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight, the hearts of 3 days after MI surgery were immersed in 30% sucrose for several hours, embedded in OCT compound and snap‐frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°C. Sections (5 μm) were incubated with 3% BSA in PBST with 0.1% Triton for 1 hour at room temperature. Then, sections were incubated with primary antibodies against iNOS (1:200; Abcam), Arg1 (1:50; ProteinTech Group), TNF‐α (1:200; Abcam), CD206 (1:100; ProteinTech Group) or F4/80 (1:200; Abcam) overnight at 4°C. After washing with PBST three times for 5 minutes each, the sections were incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488 AffiniPure donkey anti‐rabbit or Alexa Fluor 594 AffiniPure donkey anti‐rat [1:400; Jackson ImmunoResearch]) for 2 hours at room temperature. After triple additional washing with PBST, the sections were sealed with DAPI Fluoromount‐GTM (Yeasen) to identify nuclei and prevent fluorescence quenching. Fluorescence microscopy images were caught with a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSM880; Zeiss). We used the number of iNOS and F4/80 double‐positive cells per F4/80 positive cells at the infarcted border zone to document the M1/M polarization and used the number of Arg1 and F4/80 double‐positive cells per F4/80 positive cells to document the M2/M polarization.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
